This is very close to an ad personam attack, so please be careful what 
you say when the discussion gets a bit hotter. We don't know yet whether 
it is okay to keep AI contributed stuff that already exists, so maybe 
we'll end up without debaudit or udd anyway, and why would Lucas waste 
his personal time to do manual work when there is (still) a machine 
available doing the job.

If you expect that AI assistance will become unaffordable for Debian in 
the near future, why are you pursuing a ban?
